Sprint Curve 9330 on other CDMAs?

**PseudoKirby** · 06-07-2012, 10:07 PM

I want to know if I have the option to use this sprint Curve on other CDMA networks such as Boost Virgin (which are owned by sprint...) or Cricket Metro Verizon...

I just want better options for service then their 2 year contract and $30 200 minute plan...

I mean I am using AT&Ts $50 pre-paid unlimited plan on my bold already

Why do these things go up and down so bad..

So apparently if a blackberry ends in 30 its locked no matter what?

another question, if I picked up a broken 9300 shouldnt the parts from this 9330 work for it? I only bought it for $15 so I can still make use of this phone

broken screen, broken housing, broken keys

what about water damage or USB port broken, could I use these parts from this 9330?

I believe all the parts except pretty much the hardware that handles the radios are the same between the 9330 and the 9300 but I'm no engineer.

I THINK you came flash a Sprint 9330 to Boost, Virgin, Metro pcs or Cricket but from what I understand, Sprint and Verizon will NOT allow flashed devices on their post paid accounts. Not 100% sure as I have only just begun to learn about cdma networks(been on T-Mobile for 8 years before now).

Technically, yes, you can. Just enter the SPC key, input new A-KEY, MIN, and some other parameters, updating PRL, and its done. But, most likely, Sprint won't tell you the SPC, and your new provider won't give you the new parameters as well.

BTW, I'm using Sprint's 9330 operating with another provider, here, far from USA.
